Golden hour Abbotsford Boatshed Ed. 10 of 50

I created the original artwork for the 2024 Incognito Art Show, as one of three little postcards from Wareemba, the area where I live which has inspired a lot of my work. I have painted the Abbotsford Boatshed many times, in different light and with different vessels docked for work.

I was absolutely blown away to see that this work was featured in a promotional post for the show on Instagram, and later I found out from a prospective buyer who missed out on the original artwork that it was featured on an official Incognito Art Show poster, which was used to promote the show around Sydney. Thank you so much to the legendary Dave Liston for giving permission to feature the poster in this listing, and his support and encouragement which mean so much to emerging artists.

Hopefully this limited run of 50 amazing quality Giclee prints will find buyers, either who missed out on the original or who like the work on its own merit.

Each print is hand-signed, and individually numbered. The paper is a beautiful textured 300gsm rag, and the colours will blow you away. The prints are sold unframed, and will be sent rolled.

Feel free to reach out to me if you would prefer to buy a framed print, and I can organise for framing and give you a new quote for a complete work. Alternatively you can choose the framing offered by Bluethumb for an additional cost, quoted when you apply framing to your order.

Enjoy!

Diana Borinski is a multi-award winning artist who lives on Wangal Country in Sydney.

Working primarily in watercolour and acrylic, Diana is known for evocative depictions of heritage architecture, coastal environments and local urban streetscapes, capturing the shifting interplay of light, colour and atmosphere that defines these places. Much of her subject matter draws from Sydney’s Inner West, where she documents both the character of everyday neighbourhoods and the natural beauty of the Australian environment. Her paintings often explore the tension between permanence and change—particularly through a focus on heritage buildings and local landmarks that are increasingly vulnerable to redevelopment.

A recurring strength of Diana’s practice is her sensitivity to light, whether depicting the reflective shimmer of water, the textured surfaces of coastal rock formations, or the subtle tonal shifts across façades and streetscapes, She is particularly interested in how light animates familiar environments, transforming ordinary scenes into moments of quiet resonance.

Diana works in a variety of mediums, allowing for experimentation. Her technique ranges from finely observed detail to looser, more expressive treatments of form, revealing an ongoing exploration of composition, abstraction and visual rhythm.

Diana has been engaged in artmaking since childhood and has continued to develop her practice through independent study and short courses. After re-engaging with painting through commissioned work in 2020, she has established a growing presence within the Sydney art community. Diana is an active committee member of the Drummoyne Art Society, regularly exhibiting in group shows and contributing to local arts initiatives.
Her work has been exhibited in many group exhibitions, receiving commendation and institutional interest. Diana’s paintings are held in private collections and are available through her website and online platforms, as well as through some local retail spaces in Sydney.

At the heart of Diana’s practice is a desire to create connection—between viewer and place, memory and environment. By focusing on scenes that hold emotional and cultural significance, her work resonates strongly with collectors who recognise their own experiences in the landscapes she portrays.
